We can note with great satisfaction the major achievements that our health organs have by this moment. Hundreds of new hospitals, many thousands of health centers, tens of thousands of nurseries and many different research institutions - these are the assets of Soviet health care. The question of the fight against tuberculosis also gained a lot of momentum. But we have one area which is not yet given full attention by the medical workers. This sphere is bone tuberculosis. A related and related to pulmonary tuberculosis disease, unfortunately, does not get the attention it deserves.

Background: Successful tuberculosis control requires specific behaviors from patients and health providers. Therefore, understanding behaviors is fundamental to design interventions to strengthen tuberculosis control programs, including communication interventions. The aim of this study was to assess the healthcare-seeking behavior of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients in Jabalpur district.Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted among category I new sputum positive PTB patients identified from nine designated microscopy centres from November 2013 to October 2014. Calculated sample size of 135 with a multistage random sampling method was used. Student’s t-test and Chi-square test were used along with descriptive statistics.Results: Mean age of patients was 33.87 (14.3) years, males constituted 66.7%, 72.5% patients belonged to below class IV socioeconomic status. Cough was experienced by 91.1% subjects, followed by fever (69.6%). First action was consulting a health care provider (HCP) in 41.5% followed by self-medication (21.5%). It took two attempts for 76% of patients to reach a formal health care provider. Private health care providers were consulted as first choice among HCPs by 86.7% patients, initial diagnosis was made by them in 25.9% cases. Sixty-three percent of patients were not satisfied with care at government hospitals, 41.5% had not heard of tuberculosis before their diagnosis, 59.5% of patients got information about tuberculosis from their relatives suffering from it.Conclusions: Cough is the most common and earliest symptom responsible for seeking care in pulmonary tuberculosis. Government health facilities contribute maximum to diagnosis but private health facility is the first choice for initial consultation. Patients’ perception of suggestive symptoms needs to be changed.

BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis is still the primary infectious disease in the world due to HIV/AIDS. In the 2015-2019 strategic plan of the Ministry of Health, infectious diseases are one of the main priorities that must create a Healthy Indonesia. The prevalence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis cases in Indonesia is 539,000 new cases each year, with the number of deaths around 101,000 per year. Acid Fast Bacilli (AFB) (+) incidence rate is around 110/ 100,000 population. AIM: This study aimed to identify the influencing factors and efforts to overcome pulmonary tuberculosis disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The research method was carried out by tracing the research reports/articles related to pulmonary tuberculosis incidence as many as 38 selected articles. RESULT: Factors that influence tuberculosis infection incidence include age, income level (socioeconomic), housing conditions, the behavior of opening windows every morning, smoking, and a history of contact with tuberculosis patients. There are various countermeasures undertaken to overcome pulmonary tuberculosis, one of which uses a tissue model. This model involves many stakeholders whose duty is to provide knowledge and record the number of sufferers. The stages of action to control tuberculosis include discovery, treatment, and surveillance. CONCLUSION: Facts in the field show that several factors can affect the success of implementing pulmonary tuberculosis control. Therefore, it is necessary to participate in all society components and involve other agencies beyond the health agency so the reduction in the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis can be appropriately realized.

Index Cases

This was descriptive study carried out in a medium-sized Brazilian city. In ≤ 15-year-old contacts of index cases of active pulmonary tuberculosis, we assessed compliance with the Brazilian national guidelines for tuberculosis control. We interviewed 43 contacts and their legal guardians. Approximately 80% of the contacts were not assessed by the municipal public health care system, and only 21% underwent tuberculin skin testing. The results obtained with the Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detector method suggest that health care teams have a biased attitude toward assessing such contacts and underscore the need for training health professionals regarding tuberculosis control programs.

Pulmonary tuberculosisis an infectious disease remains a health problem in the community. Numbers of patient with pulmonary tuberculosis at Ciamis in 2013 is 1164 cases, in 2014 is 1388 cases and in 2015 is 1395 cases. UPTD Sukamulya routinely conducts health education with the aim of providing knowledge to the community. Health services at Sukamulya has a good services, but there are some peoples who feeling embrassed to check the disease in the health centre.This research used a descriptive method with the aim to describe an object of research. This research have a samples 30 respondent with instrument using a likert scale in the form of a check list with 16 questions.Based on the result of questionnaire analysis study from 30 respondents about the factors in the needs of health care utilization by patients with pulmonary tuberculosis has been showed that 4 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (13,33%) utilize health care services properly, 25 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (83,33%) is a harness of health care and one person wit sufficient pulmonary tuberculosis patients (3,34%) is underutilization of health services.Utilization of health services by patients with pulmonary tuberculosis at UPTD Puskesmas Sukamuya Ciamis is well done. Keywords: utilization of health services, tuberculosis, health centers

Abstract Background Rural access to health care remains a challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa due to urban bias, social determinants of health, and transportation-related barriers. Health systems in Sub-Saharan Africa often lack equity, leaving disproportionately less health center access for the poorest residents with the highest health care needs. Lack of health care equity in Sub-Saharan Africa has become of increasing concern as countries enter a period of simultaneous high infectious and non-communicable disease burdens, the second of which requires a robust primary care network due to a long continuum of care. Bicycle ownership has been proposed and promoted as one tool to reduce travel-related barriers to health-services among the poor. Methods An accessibility analysis was conducted to identify the proportion of Ugandans within one-hour travel time to government health centers using walking, bicycling, and driving scenarios. Statistically significant clusters of high and low travel time to health centers were calculated using spatial statistics. Random Forest analysis was used to explore the relationship between poverty, population density, health center access in minutes, and time saved in travel to health centers using a bicycle instead of walking. Linear Mixed-Effects Models were then used to validate the performance of the random forest models. Results The percentage of Ugandans within a one-hour walking distance of the nearest health center II is 71.73%, increasing to 90.57% through bicycles. Bicycles increased one-hour access to the nearest health center III from 53.05 to 80.57%, increasing access to the tiered integrated national laboratory system by 27.52 percentage points. Significant clusters of low health center access were associated with areas of high poverty and urbanicity. A strong direct relationship between travel time to health center and poverty exists at all health center levels. Strong disparities between urban and rural populations exist, with rural poor residents facing disproportionately long travel time to health center compared to wealthier urban residents. Conclusions The results of this study highlight how the most vulnerable Ugandans, who are the least likely to afford transportation, experience the highest prohibitive travel distances to health centers. Bicycles appear to be a “pro-poor” tool to increase health access equity.

Studies in the northern part of Ethiopia showed high prevalence of undiagnosed cluster of tuberculosis cases within the community which demanded an investigation of the health care seeking behaviour of tuberculosis suspects. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Lay Armachiho district, Northwest Ethiopia. Individuals who had cough for at least two weeks and aged greater than or equal to 15 years were included in the study. Data were collected by interview using pretested and structured questionnaire. Logistic regression was computed and adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was calculated. Out of the total population surveyed (29, 735), 663 (2.2%) individuals were found to be pulmonary tuberculosis suspects. Majority of the suspects reported that they had visited a modern health care facility. Those aged 15 to 34 and aged 35–54 had secondary educational level and above; those who were civil servants, those who were farmers, those who had previous history of tuberculosis treatment, and those who perceived that they were sick were more likely to visit a modern health care facility. The proportion of respondents who had taken traditional measures was found to be higher than some other districts. Improving the socioeconomic status of the community is recommended.
